Really doesn't matter to me what lenses are usable.... unless the Nikon mirrorless has stopped last frame viewfinder freeze, it will be of no use for action photography.

I agree that frame-freeze or poor refresh is a real bugbear. I dont find this a problem with the XT2 but did with previous Fuji EVFs in XT1, XE2, XE1 and especially XPro1.
This effect also exists in DSLRs with mirror blackout effect.

I think this problem is worse with different photography types so worse in sports and wildlife photography but of no problem for landscape, astrophotography. Things like macro is also a huge differenceas you get more opportunities but there are fewer accessories so it is a real balance.


I agree mirror blackout occurs in DSLRs, but the time out is significantly less than even the XT2.

I would love to see a Nikon mirrorless that solved the key disadvantages of other mirrorless bodies and it would encourage me to buy it...because there are several great advantages, like those you mention, to mirrorless.

A full frame camera with current AFS and P lens compatibility, albeit through an adapter, would be a tempting addition....leaving the DSLR bodies for wildlife.

I could live with that.
